From 'Five Traditional Songs', arranged for unaccompanied mixed voices by John Rutter
LYRICS:
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
’Twas on a Monday morning
And there I saw my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev’ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble O
A-washing of her linen O,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away.
’Twas on a Tuesday morning . . .
. . . A-hanging out her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Wednesday morning . . .
. . . A-starching of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Thursday morning . . .
. . . A-ironing of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Friday morning . . .
. . . A-folding of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Saturday morning . . .
. . . A-airing of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Sunday morning . . .
. . . A-wearing of her linen O . .
The Sprig of Thyme
The Sprig of Thyme offers a selection of traditional songs of the British Isles, drawing together long-standing favourites as Willow Song and The Miller of Dee with lesser known gems as O Can Ye Sew Cushions and The Sprig of Thyme. Many new settings for choir and small instrumental group have been created by John Rutter especially for this album. Rutter’s suite of eleven traditional songs, The Sprig of Thyme (all of which can be heard on this album) is published by Oxford University Press.
‘This is a lovely disc; one to head my list of Christmas presents for musical friends…’ Gramophone
“This superb collection of traditional English songs, arranged by R. Vaughan Williams and John Rutter, is drawn from nursery rhymes, scout camps, and hymns from High Church assemblies. Sung in the peerless tones of The Cambridge Singers, these humble songs echo the gentility and cultural nationalism of postwar England. Included are bold drinking songs, tender lullabies, and love songs of fragile beauty. They bring delight and pleasure from a vanished age.” AllMusic
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.

Came here by hearing Carson from downtown abbey singing this.
Me too
Me too.
Lord only knows who sang this around me as a child or where I picked it up, but when I heard it on Downton Abbey it sure brought immediate recognition. We had a Scottish great Grama & English/British previous generations, so somehow here I've been in 2000 & 2020 singing old European nursery rhymes to my daughter and now Granddaughter. Funny how that's carried on from long ago although the people who I learned it from are long faded & no memories of them, the songs remain
@@jillconnelly8206 Wow!!
Your amazing story made me nostalgic even without any reason 🥲🥲
Where can we get the copy of this song?
As children we would sing this
I am 80 years old… I learned this with the high school choir when I was around 13…. Somehow, I don’t think we were quite this good? 😂
I also am nearly 80 and we sang this at primary school (England) in 1949. We also were not as good as this lovely recording!
My dear late mother-in-law Honor, used to sing this . . . I miss her so . . .
Lovely name! ❤️
this is the type of stuff i play when i get given the aux
Please explain… What is an AUX.? I am a sound recording engineer and I am well aware of what an auxiliary input is, but I am a tad confused as to what you are referring?
@@philipboug getting given an aux cable to a speaker when with friends
Me too
Oh golly me too😂
